Upcoming action-adventure game - 1428: Shadows over Silesia

Become a part of the story of a new dark action-adventure game with fantasy elements, set in real medieval Europe. You can pre-order the game to support the author, as well as to get exclusive early access to the demo, alpha and beta versions of the game.

Author: KUBI Games

The just-released DLC takes you to medieval Moravia!

Nov 12, 2024

A new DLC for 1428: Shadows over Silesia has just been released! It's called Tourney at Bear Rock, and it will take you into the thrilling world of knight tournaments!

In this expansion, you’ll journey back to 1409, where knights have gathered at Pernstein Castle to compete in honor of the fair Lady Madeleine. But you won’t just be an ordinary competitor—step into the boots of young Hynek, a wannabe knight with a secret mission and personal motives driving him beyond mere victory. Hynek must navigate not only the dangers of the tournament but also the hidden conspiracies woven around him, testing his resolve, skills, and courage.

Expect a gripping new story with fresh faces, challenging puzzles, and intense battles that will push Hynek’s abilities to their limits. If you loved the base game, this expansion is packed with everything you enjoyed and more. And for those who are new, Tourney at the Bear Rock serves as a fantastic entry point to the world of 1428: Shadows over Silesia.

You can buy DLC on your favourite store:

Hear ya, hear ya! Bringing all backers the latest news!

Feb 6, 2022

Alpha is out!

As of today, the first Alpha version is available to backers at the tier of Hetman and above. In agreement with you (on Discord), I've decided to release the content gradually, chapter by chapter. This way, the Alpha will start a bit earlier and new content will be added at least every month. Starting with the second chapter. If you bought access to Alpha, you'll find the Steam key in the rewards list on the site.

Release date

Finally, I'm clarifying the game's release date. It will be in September 2022! The public demo will be out in the summer. All Knights can also look forward to access to Beta, which will launch in the summer. In June or July you will join the Alpha players.

Reward delivery details

Finally, I would again appeal to everyone to complete their details in the Backers zone on the website (here: https://shadows1428.com/backers/) as soon as possible. If you haven't already done so, please fill in all your details. If you don't do this in time, you risk not being able to receive your rewards! If anything doesn't work as it should, or you have any questions, feel free to contact me at support@shadows1428.com.

That's all for today! If you're not there yet, join the great fan community on our Discord. Backers have access to the VIP section where I always share the latest information. Just click on the link https://discord.com/invite/avabBNY. Only here you also have the unique opportunity to share feedback and influence the future shape of the game.

Backers zone on the game's website

Oct 28, 2021

To make getting rewards as easy as possible, and also to help us fine-tune all the details, we're launching a private Backers zone on the game's website. There you can not only enter your name in the public contributor list, set up a Discord nickname for role assignment, add a t-shirt size, or an address for physical rewards delivery, but also pick up all your Steam keys later, including those for early access. It's all there, all together.

To get your access and password, just enter your email on the game's website here: https://shadows1428.com/backers.

The rewards will unlock gradually and you will always get a notification in your email. If anything doesn't work as it should, or you have any questions, feel free to contact me at support@shadows1428.com or on the game's Discord channel here https://discord.com/invite/avabBNY.

Thanks again and take care!

The campaign is over

Oct 7, 2021

And it's done. The campaign has just ended and the counter has stopped at the final 121%. Thank you all for your overwhelming support and trust! But the story is not over. It' s not. The hardest part is about to begin. Finishing the game and fulfilling all your high expectations. Let's do it!

What about the rewards? We'll soon be deploying a system for backers to the game's website where you'll be able to continuously collect your rewards (like Discord roles, Steam keys) and where you'll also set up your shipping address and other information. You'll receive an email with instructions once it's launched.

I'll be very happy if you get involved in the development by giving me regular feedback. Whether it be on images, videos, or even future demos, alpha and beta versions. Join Discord and discuss with others, or feel free to message me there. You have a unique opportunity to influence the final form of the game in a way you like.

See you there!

100%! We did it!

Oct 4, 2021

Thanks to all the backers, we managed to raise the target amount! The game has thus received the funding necessary to complete development and will be released in 2022. Once again, the video game community has proven its worth! To celebrate, open a bottle of your favorite beverage and toast! You're great!

Clean your keyboards, mice, controllers, the first playable version will arrive to backers at the end of the year. In addition, it will be possible to try the demo at the Game Access Connect event at the Brno Exhibition Centre, Czech Republic. If you show up, I'll see you in person.

To celebrate the completion of the goal, we're adding a new reward you've often asked for. You now have the option to buy a t-shirt and badge separately. Delivery of physical rewards is possible only in the Czech or Slovak Republic, not in other countries.

If you haven't joined the campaign yet, consider it now! Be part of the story. With three days to go, you have one last chance to get early access. Every extra amount can help us make the game better and move it forward! The bigger the financial cushion, the more we'll be able to jump in and bring more interesting features to the game that we might not have time for.

Party

PS: Don't make anything of Hynek and Lothar's expressions in the picture. The Hungarian wine on the table doesn't smell good to them and these two are not easy to please. I am very happy!

Still hesitating? You can only get early access or a limited edition here and now.

Oct 2, 2021

It is only a small step to reach the goal together. The last 6%! Still hesitating? Can't decide if you want just the game, or early access, or even a limited physical edition?

Check out the awesome stream of one of the best Czech Twitch streamers ArcadeBulls. You'll see the entire first chapter in motion and hear the Czech dub! You can find the full recording here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1163411045 (in Czech).

Early access to the game will no longer be available for purchase anywhere else. If you want to play the game before it arrives on Steam, your last chance is now! The Demo will be available by the end of this year, the Alpha in the first half of 2022 and the Beta somewhere around a month or two before release.

You can't get the limited physical Xzone edition anywhere anymore either. It includes the standard version (digital game key, 54-page artbook, map, letter; other items to be revealed soon) and bonuses exclusive to this variant, such as a limited edition game cover, author's signature, numbered by the author himself and more, which will be revealed as we go along. Only 250 of these will be made! If fewer are sold, the edition will be all the more exclusive! Unfortunately, we have not managed to put together the entire content yet, but we are working on it. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PHYSICAL REWARDS ARE DELIVERED TO THE CZECH OR SLOVAK REPUBLIC ONLY!

Finally, I bring one new screenshot. You can find it in full resolution on the game's social media.

Welcome to Patschkau, March 22, 1428.

30% remaining

Sep 27, 2021

Nearly 70% has been raised, but the hardest part of the journey remains.

If you are still hesitating if the game is for you and you will enjoy it, I remind you that there is a live stream on HernaZona.sk (in Slovak/Czech only). I answered a lot of questions, but most importantly, you can see what playing the whole first chapter looks like.

Did I not answer anything there? Is there anything else you want to know? Feel free to post a question in the Q&A section. Don't think twice, back the project and share today. Not tomorrow, not the next day. Involve your friends, social networks, spread the word.

We can't do it without you!

Invitation to the live stream

Sep 20, 2021

Tomorrow from 19.00 (CET) I will be a guest on the live stream of the Slovak gaming magazine HernáZóna.sk. We will play the current version full of bugs and talk about the game and its development. If you're passing by, drop by https://www.twitch.tv/hernazona.

Behind the Scenes - Failed shots

Sep 10, 2021

In less than four days, we have already collected a third of the goal sum.

The beginning looks promising, and thanks for that belong to you. You guys are amazing! But we still have a long way to go till the finish line. Please share the campaign link with your friends, contact your favorite influencers and streamers, and post about the game in your social groups where it makes sense!

It took me over a month of work to get the campaign ready, and it wasn't always easy. In the following video, you can take a look at some failed footage from the video shot at the New Castle near Blansko, Czech Republic. The three minutes of final footage took almost two hours to shoot, and do you know why? :) Hope you have fun at my expense. I swear I'm better at programming than I am at talking.

One final invitation. Tomorrow, Saturday, September 11, you can meet me at the GamerPie festival in Brno. If you want to have a few words with me about the game, don't hesitate to approach me.
